Reyes has remained at First and Summerfield United Methodist Church since that date.

Reyes' attorney filed a motion to reopen his old removal order, which said it would be too dangerous for him to return to Ecuador.

On Wednesday afternoon, U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal said he will announce a reprieve in the Department of Homeland Security deportation order that will allow Reyes to leave the church on Thursday. It is unclear how long reprieve for Reyes is.

“I am very happy and I want to go to my home and celebrate with my family," Reyes said on Wednesday.

With a motion and petition pending, the Department of Homeland Security has vowed not to enforce his deportation. Now the Reyes family is looking to enjoy being under the same roof for as long as possible.

"We don’t know for how long but we’re praying and hope for good that everything goes well," said Fanny Reyes.

Reyes said he will celebrate Thanksgiving with his family and members of the church, which is a community that has rallied around him during his toughest days.

­“This special Thanksgiving miracle will enable Miriam's family‎ to celebrate together this unique American holiday. They will join families around our nation in celebrating American values-- family, faith, and fairness-- that enabled them to stay here. I remain in close contact with her attorney to explore all avenues to provide lasting relief from this cruel and irrational deportation," Blumenthal said in a statement.
